develop their positions and strength and
then, without waiting in reduce the city
it eiihject it to a regular bombardment,
which would require due notice, to re
turn to the westward.

llrlua tue Sulijeet to a Vote,
Washington, May 27. The Hawaiian
annexation question, which has been the
subject of uo little concern about the
senate the past few days, assumed deti
nue shape lu the seuate to-day, when
.Senators Lodge and Morgan offered
amendments to the war revenue bill
hearing directly upon the subject. Sena
tor Isle's amendment Is iu the words
of Ihe Newlands resolution ami provides
iu direct terms (or the annexation of
the Islands. Senator Lodge announced
his purpose to press ths amendment.
Advocates of annexation express the
opinion that the amendment lu the end
will be accepted, but admit that It will
re.ult In delating the passage of the
revenue bill. Incorporating Hawaiian
annexation lu tho revenue bill would of
eouri-e have ths effect of forcing the
mutter upou the attention of the bouse.
The condition of n Hairs In the l'hlltp
pines and the necessity for a stopping
place for our ships ou their way to those
islands is the reason for the present
urgency.
Senator Jones, democratic member of
the finance commune, expressed an
opinion that the Lodge amendment
would not be accepted. "It would," he
said, "certainly delay the bill ludellultely
if preted."
